jgrim of Sublinks

Neat! Bought it!

Lemmy.World isn’t developing it. Some of their team members are contributing but they didn’t start it. I did. I’m the admin of discuss.online

It’s actually extremely buggy. Not sure if we’ll fix it or find something else. Perhaps something you suggested.

I setup https://github.com/deck9/input on polls.sublinks.org. We’ll use this next time.

I was hoping not to have to host it myself. I won’t need it often. I was mostly curious about a Saas. Thanks though!

Is there a better form service to be used? We used it because it comes free with our email.

Perhaps it’s your client or the server acting funny. Here are direct links to the open rooms:

It’s not dead, perhaps you joined at a slow time. We were just chatting a bunch in there about cursor pagination. There are several rooms if you didn’t notice. General, Frontend, API, & Federation. Along with Announcements and Support.

I’m the founder of Sublinks. I’m happy to answer questions. You can find me on Mastodon @sublinks@utter.online. You’re right about the dev blog. We have a weekly Sublinks team meeting, the results of that could go into a weekly dev update. I’ve just been more focused on coding than community stuff. I’ll do better.

We had a lot of debate about the license. I’m curious if you can argue why MIT is wrong and why we should use AGPL. AGPL was the original plan, but I was convinced to change it to MIT by @lazyguru@discuss.online.

Yes, I’ve just been into this idea for a while. I thought about building something like Lemmy about 10 years ago, but everyone said I was crazy to think people would do it. It’s here now, and I want it to grow and be trusted. The only way to do that is to build trusted instances. I took it upon myself to make that happen or at least contribute to it happening.

I prefer the smaller communities. It feels less like shouting into a void.

Yes, when I started talking to other admins that’s when I realized how over prepared I was compared to them.

That’s what made me decide to do the downgrade. I might do it again at some point.

It was already in a spiral. I think some people are mores sensitive to the gravity of it.

I had many discussions with Mods when working out the plan for SocialCare.cloud. I never knew what was involved. I even suggested adding a tip jar to each community to help compensate the mods. I was told that was a terrible idea. After further discussion, it seems to be true. Perhaps a more general shared fund would be better.

I see. My server instance is at 5% CPU and 15% memory usage. However, my managed DB instance is constantly near 80%. I’m thinking about moving the database over to the same server and managing my own backups. It’s seems much more DB heavy now.

Yeah, and Mastodon is more ready for growth than Lemmy is. I’d say Mastodon is better than Twitter. Lemmy doesn’t quite have the same polish, yet.

Yeah, I’ve had friends say they’ve noticed a huge degradation since the Rexxit. But they say, “I’m addicted.”

A few Subreddits were planning to come over at the end of the month that didn’t work out. Their members revolted and threatened to replace the mods. So they stayed over there. It would have been over 200k people if they all came over, even if not all members came. I thought I was under planning at the time.

I was reaching out to Reddit mods, trying to convenience them to join my instance. It almost worked, haha.

But in the end, I had to scale down while still maintaining something snappy. The DB is already over 15G, and I want to use a managed db. It’s too large to put on smaller instances.
